Rhinoplasty stands at the forefront of cosmetic surgery, offering transformative possibilities for those looking to enhance their facial harmony or improve nasal function. This intricate procedure, artfully performed by expert surgeons, meticulously sculpts the nasal contours, balancing aesthetics and breathing efficiency.
Whether driven by the desire for aesthetic refinement or the need to correct structural issues, rhinoplasty opens the door to renewed confidence and well-being, promising results that are as natural as they are life-changing.
What is a rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty, commonly known as nose reshaping, is a cosmetic surgery procedure aimed at reshaping the nasal structure to improve aesthetic appearance and/or function. Performed by skilled plastic surgeons, it can alter the size, shape, or proportions of the nose, addressing issues from aesthetic concerns to breathing difficulties. As a highly individualised surgical procedure, rhinoplasty is tailored to meet the specific needs and goals of each patient.
Rhinoplasty in London can significantly enhance facial symmetry, making it a popular choice among those seeking aesthetic improvements.
Benefits of rhinoplasty
A rhinoplasty can have a profound and positive effect on your life and is worth considering if you are unhappy with your nose’s appearance and/or function. There are several benefits to having a nose job, including:
- Improves the overall appearance of the nose
- Corrects functional problems of the nose
- Increase or decrease the size of the nose
- Give the nostrils a new shape
- Refines the nasal tip
- Reduce the bridge
- Enhance the balance and harmony with other facial features
- Have a positive effect on your overall facial aesthetic
- Correct problems associated with a deviated septum
- Improve breathing
- Improve self-confidence
Recovery from rhinoplasty in London typically involves a short period of swelling and bruising, with most patients returning to their normal activities within a few weeks.
Risks and side effects associated with rhinoplasty surgery
A Rhinoplasty is typically a safe and effective procedure, but as with all cosmetic surgery procedures, there are some potential risks and side effects that you should be aware of. These include:
- Bleeding and bruising
- Swelling
- Infection
- Nasal obstruction and change in sense of smell
- Irregularities and asymmetry
- Scarring and skin discolouration
- Change in skin sensation
It’s important to note that most side effects of the surgery are temporary and resolve on their own during the healing process. Following all post-operative instructions after rhinoplasty is also very important, as any deviations could interfere with the healing process and the overall results.

Consultation
Your first consultation is a crucial part of your journey and we make it a priority that you feel at ease throughout. Carried out by Mr Ridha personally, he will take time to listen carefully to understand your goals and answer any questions you may have.
He will examine your nose to assess its function and features and then create a personalised treatment plan to address your concerns whilst creating a proportioned nose in harmony with your face. He will then talk you through the procedure including any potential risks or side effects, recovery times and expected outcomes.
Procedure
Rhinoplasty is typically a day-case procedure under general anaesthetic. It involves either a closed approach, with incisions inside the nostrils, or an open approach, connecting these incisions via an additional cut along the columella.
The choice between open or closed rhinoplasty depends on the procedure’s complexity and specific objectives. It entails reshaping the nasal bones and cartilage, correcting a deviated septum, followed by repositioning the skin and tissue, suturing, and dressing the incision.
Recovery
Post-rhinoplasty, patients should rest with their heads elevated initially. Swelling and bruising are common but diminish over 7-10 days, with minor discomfort managed by prescribed medication. Mr Ridha and his team will provide detailed aftercare guidance. Recovery typically allows for a return to work and routine activities within a week, though strenuous activities should be avoided for six weeks.

FAQs

Will rhinoplasty surgery affect my breathing?
A rhinoplasty procedure typically enhances breathing, yet as with any surgical procedure, it carries risks. Post-surgery, the internal swelling may cause temporary breathing difficulties, which could take months to completely subside.
How long will the effects of surgical rhinoplasty last?
The outcomes of a surgical rhinoplasty are generally permanent, enduring a lifetime. Nonetheless, it’s crucial to note that, similar to all bodily tissues, the nasal bones, cartilage and soft tissue will age over time.
What is the impact of ageing on rhinoplasty procedures?
With ageing, the collagen that supports the nasal structure weakens, potentially altering the shape and position of the nasal bridge and tip due to the natural ageing process of the soft tissue and ligaments.
Is rhinoplasty a safe cosmetic surgery procedure?
Modern rhinoplasties, in particular, preservation techniques are considered safe and efficient, focusing on the conservation of the nasal structure, thereby minimising recovery time and enhancing the longevity of results.
Does undergoing rhinoplasty involve pain?
Performed under general anaesthesia, rhinoplasty procedures are pain-free during the operation. Post-operative discomfort is typically mild and managed with simple oral analgesics
What is the recovery timeline for rhinoplasty nose job surgery?
Recovery from nose reshaping surgery usually sees significant improvement within a week. While normal activities can resume after a week, as advised by plastic surgeons, rigorous exercise should be deferred for six weeks, with complete swelling resolution and final results manifesting around one year.
